I've had tears leak out of me for no reason other than maybe I just woke up or whatever and also experienced tears of physical pain, but if we're talking about when I broke down crying over something significant? Um... maybe sometime between 2009 and 2010? Got word back then that a friend of mine's wife had miscarried. I couldn't explain why I broke down, I was in my old car then, some Saturn that had a plum coat on it, and I received a text message about it, parked, and I broke down.

Since then, even when my parents and grandparents passed away, I never shed a tear about it. I questioned if something is wrong with me. Folks just told me everybody expresses grief differently. Yeah, well, I am aware and it still concerns me if my head is still fucked up.

A few months ago angy crying.??
Angry crying is a crazy one, that's such a rare feeling.
September 2024 my dog got really sick and wasn't going to get better so I had to have him put to sleep his name was spartan I had asked here for name ideas for him...
He was only 2
That's always so tough. Especially when they're young. I adopted a kitten in 2024...they became very very ill. They had to be put down. Still hurts to think about
When my book, the mad immortal, was ignored, even though so much effort was spent on it... Bills and a credit card need to be paid, and the book does not collect reactions..
Keep at it.

Sometimes when we cry, like really really sob, I feel like its not just about the initial cause but about like everything that's built up. The initial cause just causes the flood gates to open. That's just my feelings on it tho

Maybe you're in the building up phase and one day you'll need to let it out

I think for me it was like a month ago. I was upset thinking about kids getting hurt in **current event**. What bout you guys?
Earlier today, was rewatching Steins;Gate through a reaction and am on the second half. I am a crier when it comes to fiction, although I don’t think I have cried to a book or webnovel. I guess I need either visuals or voice acting.

I cry a lot in my mind, but I have a surprisingly good poker face and haven't cried in years. :blob_hmm_two:
Years! Woah

The last time I truly cried was like 8 years ago… at some point I just stopped… even when I have a total suicidal breakdown I still don’t shed a tear… though when reading my eyes water occasionally if I’m feeling a bit emotional but not quite crying-nyah.

Not long ago, at the end of January 2026, I cried as I wrote the epilogue to the final scene of Volume 2 after months of writing fiction.

I cried as my FMC held her little daughter in her lap while sitting on the edge of the bed. She rested her chin on her daughter's tiny head. Tears fell, wetting her daughter's silver hair.

Her daughter asked, "Mommy... Caelan's hair is wet."

FMC lied softly, hugged her daughter tightly from behind, and said, "Sometimes it rains inside the house, honey."

I cried imagining the burden FMC bore to protect her daughter's innocence. She didn't let her trauma touch her daughter. Marry was truly a gentle and loving mother.

Morning in the Valley of Roses

Rose petals swayed gently in the valley breeze. They drifted through the air and brushed against the white curtains covering the bedroom window.

“La la la lala…”

A small, sweet voice echoed inside the warm room. Little Caelan was humming while sitting on her mother’s lap at the edge of the bed.

Caelan smiled innocently each time her hair was brushed. “Keep brushing Caelan’s hair, Mom…”

Marry remained silent. Yet her hand continued to comb through her daughter’s silver hair.

“La… laa… laa…
Lala… la…
Laa… la… laa…”

Marry smiled faintly as she listened to her little daughter hum. But her fingers trembled slightly.

Her blue eyes were usually clear and bright. This morning, they were dim.

Marry set the silver comb down at the edge of the bed. She wrapped her arms around her daughter from behind and rested her chin atop the small head.

“Mommy?!”

“Let Mama hold you for a while, honey.” Marry tightened her embrace. “Mama loves Caelan.”

“Caelan loves Mommy too, hehe…”



For a brief moment… mother and daughter shared the warmth of their embrace.

“Tess… tess…”

“Mommy… Caelan’s hair is wet.”

Marry smiled gently. “It’s okay, honey. Sometimes rain falls inside the house. Mama will hug Caelan. So, Caelan won’t feel cold.”

“Mommy is the best in the whole world,” Caelan said cheerfully, basking in her mother’s warmth.

Marry closed her eyes. Her cheeks were wet. Tears slipped through her lashes.

She clenched the blooming silver rose pendant in her left palm and murmured silently, “Black Mist… Clara…

That morning, amidst the mist, conscience, and roses… three women’s faces gazed toward one another from afar, sharing wounds in a world that had forgotten its sins.
